Citing the uncertainty caused by China dumping U.S. Treasuries, an impending debt ceiling crisis, the upcoming French elections, and more, Wealth Research Group editor Lior Gantz advises investors to make sure their portfolios are diversified.

Each of the last five major U.S. recessions were preceded by a shrinking global trade as a percentage of GDP.

Peak globalization might go down in history as May 7, with the French elections, and it could signal the first major crash since 2008.

In fact, the governor of Kyrgyzstan's central bank, Tolkunbek Abdygulov, expressed his "dream" to see all six million citizens of the Central Asian country own at least 100 grams, or 3.5 ounces, of physical gold.

The two major events to pay attention to now are the debt ceiling, which is approaching its climax on March 15, and the French election on May 7.

Like Trump, French leading candidate Le Pen is campaigning with the attitude of restoring borders to their firmness.

The average Frenchman is just as sick of their government as Americans were.

France is suffering from a socialistic nightmare, which has caused the unemployment rate to rise above 10%.

Gold rose to its peak in 2016, as Brexit dominated headlines, and now we could be headed to a FrenchxitFrance could be withdrawing from the European Union (EU).

Gold has finished up for January and February, and what is important to understand about physical bullion is just how much diversification it adds to the portfolio.

Gold is literally uncorrelated to all financial assets. It rises from genuine fear and uncertainty, as well as times of negative interest rates, like Germany's -0.94% bond yield.

A French exit from the EU would mean a full-blown global crisis.

The EU is the world's biggest economy, with a GDP of nearly $19.1 trillion.

If the EU collapses, trade wars would be next.

With Trump's budget speech, the debt ceiling approaching decision time on March 15, a likely Federal Reserve rate hike, and the French elections in two months, this is a time to make sure your holdings are diversified, as the euphoric feeling always spells trouble in the end.
